Tips and Recommendations

When ordering a support, splint or brace, it is important to determine what you are trying to achieve. This will help to determine the most appropriate device for the pet .

What is the goal for this device:

Immobilise or support a joint

Progression through rehabilitation

Protect against injury or prevent injury

Prevent or correct deformity or contracture

Assist with function or therapeutic exercise

Thera-Paw provides custom supports, splints and braces that are made of soft materials (e.g., neoprene, sheepskin). Stability and immobilisation can be achieved by adding nylon support straps or thermoplastic splints. Movement can be assisted/prevented using elastic support additions.

Sometimes, a custom orthotic device may be more appropriate for the pet. to help your decision:
​

When to consider a custom Thera-Paw support:​

For toy, small, medium, and large pets

For shorter-term use although some suitable for longer term use (e.g OA support)

When circumferential support / stability is needed at a joint or body part

If you want to retain the ability modify the brace in-house (increase or decrease support)

For rapid progress through rehabilitation

When cost is a factor

We can discuss individual cases to assist you in making a decision of what is best for the pet.

When to consider a custom orthotic device (i.e NOT from TheraPaw):​

For giant breeds or overweight large pets who need moderate to high support
